Abstract
A diffuser is provided having a number of diffuser channels defined by a top wall, bottom wall, and two sidewalls. The sidewalls can be constructed according to an involute of a circle which provides constant interwall distance between the sidewalls along the length of the diffuser channel. The top and bottom walls, however, diverge from one another along the length of the diffuser channel to provide a desired diffusion.
